Mama Duck
On a long walk along the Indian Creek trail, I was able to walk through the woods and get down next to the water where this mama duck was swimming.
Which shot is your favorite?
Further down the creek some male mallards were hanging out together, so I share them as a bonus pic.

Mama Duck # 3 definitely my favorite
Thanks Jacquie! I liked the way the sunlight streaming through the trees had her swimming in a sea of green. It was so fun to have her be brave enough to get nice and close to me. I feel like I’m usually trying to snap ducks from 100 yards away! 🙂
I like #2 – she’s most in focus. Love the reflection and all the green.
While I wanted to share all three pics (because there was something I loved about each), I liked #2 enough to make it the featured image for this blog post. Thanks for always stopping by and sharing your tips and experience with me, Lindy!
I like Mama Duck #1 because her reflection in the water is clear. I also like that you captured her looking at the camera.
Thanks, Kathy! I had a hard time picking one favorite out of the three shots because I loved something special about each one. I agree with your assessment of what makes #1 a fun shot.
Definitely # 3!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective, Ana!
You are very welcome! 🙂
I love #2…her expression is sweet.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective!
Mama Duck 3 is my favorite.
Thanks for stopping by, Sofia, and sharing your perspective!
I like the mama duck #3 🙂 The color in the water and the focus on the ripples I think are a little better, but they are all really pretty 🙂 Gotta love those ducks!
Thanks! Yeah, ducks are just so cool!
